Lecture: Tourist construction in the Balearic Islands (1939-2005)

Lecture, Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya, 16th July 2020.

From 2015 on, the demarcation of Girona of the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya organises the conference series Síntesis Arquitectóniques to present thesis on architecture and urbanism.

Due to sanitary reasons, this year’s edition has been held in online format and has dealt with island territories. The cycle was initiated by Toni Vidal and his thesis Atlas del Puerto de Maó. He was followed by Rocío Narbona with Cartografía operativa para el proyecto de paisaje turístico de Canarias. I closed this year edition with the presentation of my thesis La construcción turística en las Islas Baleares (1939-2005). Arquitectura, urbanismo, fotografía.

My lecture consisted on a synthesis of the methodology and the contents of the thesis, highlighting issues such as the historic and social context.

The conference can be seen in the COAC and COAC Girona YouTube channels.
